2017 HYUNDAI ELANTRA GT Complaints

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY MY VEHICLE STALLED. WHEN FINALLY GOT IT BACK STARTED IT MADE A AWFUL KNOCKING NOISE. HAD IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY INFORMED ME IT WAS THE ROD BEARINGS. THEY SAID I DIDN'T QUALIFY FOR A REPLACEMENT BECAUSE I WAS 1,000 MILES OVER WARRANTY. THESE MOTORS SHOULD HAVE A RECALL LIKE THE 2011-2016 THESE MOTORS ARE DOING THE SAME THING AS THEM. YET THERE IS NO RECALL MY KIDS AND HUSBAND COULD OF BEEN REALLY INJURED ESPECIALLY SINCE IT STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY THERE WAS A MECHANICAL NOISE THAT CAME FROM THE ENGINE - THE ENTIRE MOTOR BLOCK GRADUALLY BEGAN TO SHAKE MORE AND MORE, THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND WITHIN 30 MINUTES THE ENTIRE CAR DIED - WOULD NOT START. HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED AND REVIEWED MY MECHANIC. MISFIRES ON CYLINDER 3, AND A SPARK PLUG WAS PULLED AND NOTICED THAT THE GAP WAS CLOSED - SOMETHING IN THE ENGINE HAD HIT THE PLUG TO CLOSE THE GAP. MASSIVE AMOUNT OF ENGINE KNOCK. CAR ONLY HAS 67K MILES ON IT.

AT 77,000 MILES WHILE DRIVING, DASHBOARD LIGHTS CAME ON. ENGINE SHUT OFF, LOUD NOISE CAME FROM ENGINE, OBVIOUS ENGINE FAILURE NOT SURE IF FROM FUEL PUMP. CAR HAD REGULAR SERVICE MAINTENANCE. NOT UNDER HYUNDAI 100K WARRANTY SINCE I AM THE SECOND OWNER. CEASED ENGINE RELATED TO OIL - MOST LIKELY FAILED OIL PUMP.
